PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDELINES

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
This manual was prepared for use only by properly trained audio-visual service
technicians.
When servicing this product, under no circumstances should the original design
be modified or altered without permission from Zenith Electronics Corporation.
All components should be replaced only with types identical to those in the
original circuit and their physical location, wiring and lead dress must conform
to original layout upon completion of repairs.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify this product in any way.
Never perform customized installations without manufacturers
approval.
Unauthorized modifications will not only void the warranty, but may
lead to property damage or user injury.
Service work should be performed only after you are thoroughly familiar with
these safety checks and servicing guidelines.
5. No lead or component should touch a receiving tube or a resistor rated at 1

watt or more. Lead tension around protruding metal surfaces must be avoided.
6. After reassembly of the set, always perform an AC leakage test on all
exposed metallic parts of the cabinet (the channel selector knobs, antenna
terminals, handle and screws) to be sure that set is safe to operate without
danger of electrical shock. DO NOT USE A LINE ISOLATION
TRANSFORMER DURING THIS TEST. Use an AC voltmeter having 5000
ohms per volt or more sensitivity in the following manner: Connect a 1500
ohm, 10 watt resistor, paralleled by a .15 mfd 150V AC type capacitor
between a known good earth ground water pipe, conduit, etc.) and the
exposed metallic parts, one at a time.
Measure the AC voltage across the combination of 1500 ohm resistor and
.15 mfd capacitor. Reverse the AC plug by using a non-polarized adaptor
and repeat AC voltage measurements for each exposed metallic part.
Voltage measured must not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. This corresponds to 0.5
milliamp AC. Any value exceeding this limit constitutes a potential shock
hazard and must be corrected immediately.
TIPS ON PROPER INSTALLATION

GRAPHIC SYMBOLS
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the service personnel to important safety information in the
service literature.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the service personnel to the presence
of noninsulated dangerous voltage that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
The pictorial representation of a fuse and its rating within an

equilateral triangle is intended to convey to the service personnel
the following fuse replacement caution notice:
CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK
OF FIRE, REPLACE ALL FUSES WITH THE SAME TYPE AND
RATING AS MARKED NEAR EACH FUSE.
SERVICE INFORMATION
While servicing, use an isolation transformer for protection from AC line shock.
After the original service problem has been corrected, make a check of the
following:
FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD
1. Never install any receiver in a closed-in recess, cubbyhole, or closely fitting

shelf space over, or close to, a heat duct, or in the path of heated air flow.
2. Avoid conditions of high humidity such as: outdoor patio installations where
dew is a factor, near steam radiators where steam leakage is a factor, etc.
3. Avoid placement where draperies may obstruct venting. The customer
should also avoid the use of decorative scarves or other coverings that might
obstruct ventilation.
4. Wall- and shelf-mounted installations using a commercial mounting kit must
follow the factory-approved mounting instructions. A product mounted to a
shelf or platform must retain its original feet (or the equivalent thickness in
spacers) to provide adequate air flow across the bottom. Bolts or screws
used for fasteners must not touch any parts or wiring. Perform leakage tests
on customized installations.
5. Caution customers against mounting a product on a sloping shelf or in a tilted
position, unless the receiver is properly secured.
6. A product on a roll-about cart should be stable in its mounting to the cart.
Caution the customer on the hazards of trying to roll a cart with small casters
across thresholds or deep pile carpets.
7. Caution customers against using a cart or stand that has not been listed by
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. for use with its specific model of television
receiver or generically approved for use with TVs of the same or larger screen
size.
8. Caution customers against using extension cords. Explain that a forest of
extensions, sprouting from a single outlet, can lead to disastrous
consequences to home and family.
1. Be sure that all components are positioned to avoid a possibility of adjacent

component shorts. This is especially important on items transported to and
from the repair shop.
2. Verify that all protective devices such as insulators, barriers, covers, shields,
strain reliefs, power supply cords, and other hardware have been reinstalled
per the original design. Be sure that the safety purpose of the polarized line
plug has not been defeated.
3. Soldering must be inspected to discover possible cold solder joints, solder
splashes, or sharp solder points. Be certain to remove all loose foreign particles.
4. Check for physical evidence of damage or deterioration to parts and
components, for frayed leads or damaged insulation (including the AC cord),
and replace if necessary.

ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Application Object
You can check whether circuit adjustment is operated well or

not, as below.
(1) Display RGB1 to the Main picture, CVBS to the Sub
picture in the TWIN PICTURE.
(2) To check the MIN-Bias, input Full Black (0 gray) signal into
CVBS and RGB1 input port at the same time from the Pattern
Generator.
(3) To check the MAX-Bias, input Full White (255 gray) signal
into CVBS and RGB1 input port at the same time from the
Pattern Generator.
(4) Compare Black Level with White Level by eye. And if
there is no Level difference, the adjustment is completed
well.
Data value, which adjusted in the board, is valid until the VSC
Board is dissued and must be protected. For the protection of
data, Micom does not permit any more adjustment after
completion.
If the price which is adjusted does unavoidably and the case
must become the re-adjustment the method which it does
again with lower part is same.
These instructions are applied to all of the PDP monitor, RF03GB.
2. Notes
(1) Because this is not a hot chassis, it is not necessary to use
an isolation transformer. However, the use of isolation
transformer will help protect test instrument.
(2) Adjustment must be done in the correct order.
(3) The adjustment must be performed in the circumstance of
255C of temperature and 6510% of relative humidity if
there is no specific designation.
(4) The input voltage of the receiver must keep 100~240V,
50/60Hz during adjustment.
(5) The receiver must be operated for about 15 minutes prior
to the adjustment.
1) After receiving 100% white pattern (06CH), the receiver
must be operate prior to adjustment. (Or white condition
in HEAT-RUN mode)
2) Enter into HEAT-RUN mode
- Press the POWER ON KEY on R/C for adjustment.
- OSD display HEAT-RUN WHITE and screen display
100% full WHITE PATTERN.
- After pressing the InStart Key on the Remote Control of

adjustment, the InStop Key on the Remote Control of

Installation
PC Setup
- This monitor provides Plug and Play capability, meaning that the PC adjusts automatically to its settings. The monitor sends
configuration information (EDID) to the PC using the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) Display Data Channel
(DDC) protocol.
- The monitor perceives 640x480, 60Hz as DTV 480p based on the PC graphic card. In this case, change the screen scanning
rate for the graphic card.
How to connect
1. To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC
graphics card to a 1024x768, 60Hz. Resolutions
over UXGA cannot be displayed.
2. Use the monitors RGB INPUT or DVI (Digital
Visual Interface) INPUT port for video connections,
depending on your PC connector.
If the graphic card on the PC does not output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only
one of either RGB INPUT or DVI INPUT to display
the PC on the monitor.
If the graphic card on the PC does output analog
and digital RGB simultaneously, set the monitor to
either RGB or DVI; (the other mode is set to Plug
and Play automatically by the monitor.)
3. Then, make the corresponding audio connections.
If using a sound card, adjust the PC sound as
required.

3. Use the INPUT SELECT button on the remote control to select RGB or DVI.
4. Check the image on your monitor. There may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or
brightness in PC mode. If noise is present, change the PC mode to another resolution, change the refresh rate to
another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of the PC
graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult the manufacturer of the PC graphic card.
NOTES: Depending on the graphics card, DOS mode may not work if you use a DVI-I cable.
Avoid keeping a fixed image on the monitor's screen for a long period of time. The fixed image may become
permanently imprinted on the screen. Use the Orbiter screen saver when possible.

Introduction
Introduction
What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?
If voltage is applied to gas within glass panels, ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance. At that
instant, light is emitted. A Plasma Display is a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon.
160 - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the display is
clear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room.
Wide Screen
The screen of the Plasma Display is so wide that your viewing experience is as if you are in a theater.
Multimedia
Connect your plasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picture
feature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.
Versatile
The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs would
not fit.
The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen
The PDP (Plasma Display Panel) which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few cell
defects will normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process. Several minute colored dots visible on the screen should be acceptable. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products and the tiny dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is defective.
Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology is designed
to minimize cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.
Cooling Fan Noise

In the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the PDP is equipped with
cooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur while the fans are operating and cooling the PDP.
The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is normal during the
operation of this product. We hope you understand that a certain level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.

Installation
PC Setup
- This monitor provides Plug and Play capability, meaning that the PC adjusts automatically to its settings. The monitor sends
configuration information (EDID) to the PC using the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) Display Data Channel
(DDC) protocol.
- The monitor perceives 640x480, 60Hz as DTV 480p based on the PC graphic card. In this case, change the screen scanning
rate for the graphic card.
How to connect
1. To get the best picture quality, adjust the PC
graphics card to a 1024x768, 60Hz. Resolutions
over UXGA cannot be displayed.
2. Use the monitors RGB INPUT or DVI (Digital
Visual Interface) INPUT port for video connections,
depending on your PC connector.
If the graphic card on the PC does not output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only
one of either RGB INPUT or DVI INPUT to display
the PC on the monitor.
If the graphic card on the PC does output analog
and digital RGB simultaneously, set the monitor to
either RGB or DVI; (the other mode is set to Plug
and Play automatically by the monitor.)
3. Then, make the corresponding audio connections.
If using a sound card, adjust the PC sound as
required.

3. Use the INPUT SELECT button on the remote control to select RGB or DVI.
4. Check the image on your monitor. There may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or
brightness in PC mode. If noise is present, change the PC mode to another resolution, change the refresh rate to
another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of the PC
graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult the manufacturer of the PC graphic card.
NOTES: Depending on the graphics card, DOS mode may not work if you use a DVI-I cable.
Avoid keeping a fixed image on the monitor's screen for a long period of time. The fixed image may become
permanently imprinted on the screen. Use the Orbiter screen saver when possible.
The synchronization input form for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies is separate.

Maintenance & Specification
Maintenance
- Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will have your
new Monitor. Be sure to turn the power off and unplug the power cord before you begin any cleaning.
Cleaning the Screen

1. Heres a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and
a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until its almost dry, and then use it to wipe the
screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your Monitor.
Cleaning the Cabinet

To remove dirt or dust, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
Please be sure not to use a wet cloth.
Extended Absence
If you expect to leave your Monitor dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), its a good idea to
unplug the power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges.
